I am trying to go to a lable which is an amper value and I get back the error that label cant be found.

Eg:
-SET &TEST = '-TEST' ;
-IF 1 EQ 1 GOTO &TEST ELSE GOTO NO_TEST;

&TEST
-NO_TEST

This doesn't work very well. it's the nature of Dialogue Manager - each line is evaluated immediately. The moment
-IF 1 EQ 1 GOTO &TEST ELSE GOTO NO_TEST;
is evaluated, the
&TEST
label is not evaluated.

Here is an example of what I had to do:

-GOTO &FML_INCL1

-IIRBAL1
-INCLUDE shared11/app/iirbal_recap.fex
-GOTO IIRFML1_END

-IIRREV1
-INCLUDE shared11/app/iirrev_recap.fex
-GOTO IIRFML1_END

-IIREXP1
-INCLUDE shared11/app/iirexp_recap.fex
-GOTO IIRFML1_END

-IIRFTE1
-INCLUDE shared11/app/iirfte_recap.fex
-GOTO IIRFML1_END

-IIRFML1_END

Interestingly enough, you can use Amper vars as dialog manager IF or GOTO or comments.

I use this for error handling from -INCLUDEs
e.g.
-SET &ECHO=ALL ;
-SET &TestVal1 ='GOTO';
-SET &TestVal2 ='*';
-SET &TestDest='Error';


-&TestVal1.EVAL &TestDest

-TYPE No Error

-&TestVal2.EVAL &TestDest

-TYPE End

-EXIT
-Error

-TYPE Error Found
